Except this is not travel. This is proving your identity, which does not change when your ID expires. John Doe does not cease to be John Doe after his ID expires. And you are not proving identity, because you already proved it when you opened the account.
Various states within the USA will honor your drivers license and give you another one so long as you apply for the new one within
one year of the current one expiring. You just walk in with your expired license, 11 months later, and you get a new one. No other ID needed to verify anything. Easy peasy.
